Implementation of a two-year course revision and development project to expand the scope of the existing International Engineering Program

The proposal introduces an integration of several courses between engineering and foreign languages as well as cultural studies, and proposes to create two new courses, one on intercultural competence and one in exploring science through literature and film, as well as implementing experiential learning opportunities for engineering and language students in RI diverse and Indigenous communities.
